Yes it does I waited for 10 minutes but still nothing pop ups nope I am unable to even download the game

Perhaps you could provide the specs - CPU, RAM, GPU and OS+bit. That way at least people have something to work with.

Are all of your drivers updated?

Did you try and copy the files from the other laptop?

Apparently people were having similar problems years ago. The issue seems to be extra random junk files breaking the launcher. It was reported that if you unistall the game and delete all of Warframe's file you can get it working again. But you have to run the launcher as an Administrator. Here is a link with more information (Steam forums) - >link<

What is the OS bit though? Warframe does not support a 32-bit OS, only 64-bit.

I don't know what you have done. So it is hard to say.

The link just suggested you search for 'Warframe' on your PC and delete everything that comes up. Do make sure you have Hidden Folders enabled though.

What I would perhaps suggest is making a fresh Local User on the machine. Then, download Warframe from here (the official site). See if it will run then. If you have data left in your local user account it might be causing issues (Warframe stuff is stored per user) - a new PC account would solve this. So as to avoid confusion, I do NOT mean a new Warframe account.

Well, it sounds like your specs are not the reason. The CPU seems to be on the lower end, but that shouldn't matter. If creating a new account does not work, you might need to look at using Regedit (don't do that without a guide if you are unsure of what to do).

The game is able to run before but it suddenly couldn't anymore. Any guides on what do delete for Regedit to solve this problem?

I just created a fresh account and it works but the problem is now how to I make it work on my Main local account

Well, you will need to look for 'weird' stuff in your user account. Warframe's path is C:\Users\[Account Name]\AppData\Local\Warframe (you can type %appdata% in the search to find it). Have a look at what is in this folder. You might want to just delete the whole folder. It sounds like something is probably corrupted.

I've deleted the whole folder multiple times but it doesn't seem to work.
